Merge pull request #120 from abdosi/sudo_access

What I did:
Changes to Use Redis Unix Socket if the user is root else default to TCP

Why I did:
With the changes in PR:sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#5289 access to redis unix socket is given to the redis group members or to the root. Many of sonic-util commands (especially in multi-asic) case use redis unix socket to connect to DB and thus those comamnd fails without providing sudo. This PR is continuation of PR: sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#7002 where we default to use TCP for Redis if user is not root in sonic-cfggen.

This should fix: sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#8501
